It is fucking miles from the town centre, that is true!
Got my ticket - never been to Northampton - this will take me up to 64 grounds I have watched Charlton at - Google maps says only 30 min walk from station, which isn’t too bad
A very brisk 30 minutes.
I know no other way of walking !!!
There are buses that stop outside the train station and the stadium if you don't fancy the walk up the hill. No decent pubs en route but the Wig and Pen in the town centre is OK though its rugby country in there.
A Northamptonian for my sins. Rugby team are not playing that day so nearby pubs should be ok. As said above Thomas a Becket is on walking route to ground or Sevens which is a bit closer (about 10 mins walk from the ground) Going into town centre from the station (opposite direction to the ground) the Wig & Pen isn't bad and has a good courtyard out back if not raining. Mailcoach also ok. In the same area is The Optimist, a weatherspoons that is pretty good and has all the sport on.

I didn't realise a spoons shows sport? Do they have the sound on?

Looking at the website The Optimist doesn’t appear to be a ‘spoons, but does show sport (with sound I don’t know!)

My bad...Optimist isn't a spoons anymore! Sport wise the sound is often on....depends a bit what the game is.
